Chapter 15 | The Struggle Of Life
Let me Shine some light on my plight today. At the moment I was running through the school corridors, trying to get to Class before the teacher gave me detention.
You know the worst part? I didn't even know what class I was supposed to be in at the moment.
I dashed for the door and slipped through the closed door onto a chair at the back of the class, hopefully unnoticed.
"Settle down class, settle down quickly." I heard someone say. I was given the impression it was the teacher, but as the person continued I got the bigger picture.
"Today we learn about people who receive invites to my party and those who don't."
Only it wasn't the Teacher.
A round of applause broke out and people began to loudly whistle and chant party and I on the other hand was more interested in where the teacher was than in the current happenings.
Wow I just made myself sound so stupid.
The applause stopped and the class was silent. Now I was certain the teacher was here.
Wrong again sweetheart.
Ashton Kimberly, Brookside high's one and only shitty clique leader and play boy. He had girls head over heels for him and fan clubs dedicated to him.
I did have a crush on him in the eighth grade but it subsided later, so I don't know if that counts.
He sported the whole I- just- got- out- of- bed- and- I- look- sexy- look.
Yuck.
Perfect teeth and perfect clothes. He looked pretty perfect on the outside but wasn't all that perfect on the inside.
He was standing behind me still looking fake perfect holding an invitation.
If turn around and take it I'll get showered with good jobs and what not but if I refuse I'll be shunned and it'll be like I was never there.
So I take the invitation. What else would I have done?
Another round of applause broke out and amidst all that I heard Ashton say "Wear something sexy." in his voice girls thought was deep and seductive.
Double yuck.
"You got invited, congratulation mucacho." Victoria said with a grin.
"You did too you know."
"But you were the first."
Lets just assume I'm never picked first for anything and then I get picked first for one of the biggest events of the year. What'll you do?
Mind blown.
"Wear something sexy."
Where am I supposed to get a date from and how am I supposed to look sexy.
Well who cares about little old Kira here, the more problems for her the better.
